LeRoy Babcock 5/29/1936~10/30/2004 Often times, I would call you and after
hearing my voice, you would reply--hello little girl. I can't wait for the day
when we see each other again, and we wrap our arms around one another. Dad you
were so good to each one of your daughters. You were so supporting of your
sons, from the bull riding to teaching them to be real good men. We miss you,

friends as well as partners in this company. Together they worked through fun
times, scary times, and hard times. Max's life changed in May 1969, when he

friend decided May 24, 2005 to write the ending to her own life story. Philly

to laugh at herself and others. Anyone who knew and loved her couldn't get
enough of her infectious laugh. She loved spending time with her family and
has two beautiful daughters that love her more than anything and will miss her
very much. She always made sure "All her ducks were in a row" and never
hesitated when it came to "common sense." Gwama Thursdays were the highlight
of her life, Shelby and Gwama would watch "vivor", have "nacks", take a tubby,
put "yotion" on and "nuggle" in their blankets. She was quite the scrabble
player and was a blanket "makin'" fool. She loved to wrap her homemade
blankets around the people she loved. She loved nothing more than "hanging
out," camping, going to Moab with her family, and getting herself a "sunburn."
No one in this world could put a "lil' outfit" together better than Philly.

Lewis, Catherine
Catherine C Lewis 1920 ~ 2005 Catherine Elizabeth Conley Lewis, age 84, passed
away peacefully May 27, 2005 surrounded by loving family members. Known by her
family and friends as "Peggy," she was born Oct. 12, 1920, in Salt Lake City,
Utah to Philip and Charlotte Conley. On Aug. 8, 1941 she married John Dean
Lewis in the Logan LDS Temple, and they began their life together in Los
Angeles, CA. They are the parents of nine children, two of whom have preceded
their mother through the veil. Peggy grew up in Los Angeles where her sweet
mother (a German emigrant) worked hard to support her two daughters by working
as a seamstress. Peggy was influenced by her mother's love of cooking, sewing,
music, and nature, and enjoyed participating in women's choirs from an early
age. After graduating from Los Angeles Polytechnic High School, Peggy began
working at the Bank of America. She later met and married John, making their
home in North Hollywood where their first four children were born. John and
Peggy moved to Arizona, where they had the next five children, and enjoyed the
slower-paced life of Mesa. Shortly after the birth of their last two children
(twins) the family moved back to southern California, where they lived until
dad's final job change took them to Salt Lake City, Utah. Passionate about
gardening, she enjoyed landscaping each new home. Her kids loved to tease her
about knowing the common (and Latin) names of each flower variety known to
man. Peggy lived life with frugality and moderation, moving at a gentle pace
to enjoy the beauty of life around her. She is known for her quick wit, quiet
intelligence, love of geography, and her wide knowledge on many subjects,
often reading encyclopedias and dictionaries in her spare time. Peggy played
field hockey, softball, and golf in her earlier years, and to the delight of
her grandchildren, she enthusiastically followed sporting events until the end
of her life. Always an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, Peggy's life has been her testimony of the Savior's
teachings through her humility, compassion, and quiet acts of service. She
will be remembered for her many sacrifices, with a special talent for making
everyone in her life feel loved and needed. Peggy's family has been the
unquestioned focus of her life. A devoted wife and mother to her large family,
she has always provided just the right blend of laughter, discipline, love,
and forgiveness. Peggy is survived by seven of her nine children, Christine
(Bill) Owens of Phoenix, AZ, Roberta Lewis and John (Ann) Lewis of Orem,
Barbara (Lo-well) Camp of Alpine, Jeffrey (Kathleen) Lewis of Minnetonka, MN,
David (Celeste) Lewis of Highland, and Di-ana (Tak) Wakimoto of Lehi; two

Lyle, Burton E.
Burton E. Lyle 1911 ~ 2005 Burton E. Lyle passed away peacefully May 17, 2005.
Burton was born June 1, 1911 in Lyleton, Manitoba Canada. He is survived by
his wife of nearly 67 years, Yvonne, son Allan and daughter in law Patricia of
San Anselmo, California, granddaughter Malia of San Francisco and grandson
Jack of San Diego. Burton was orphaned and placed in a foster home at the age
of 8 when his mother died with the birth of his youngest brother followed by
his father's death in an accident nine months later. After he completed the
third grade, the childless couple he lived with decided he'd had enough formal
education and put him to work on their farm. So, at 8 he began performing
men's work. In his teens Burton ran away. Employment at that time was
difficult and during particularly rough times he was forced to eat scraps from
the table of others just to subsist. Being alone and without his family was a
painful part of his early life. He was reluctant to discuss this part of his
life as recounting the experiences brought back painful memories, memories
that for years he worked at repressing. It seems the pain of his youth steeled
his resolve to make something of himself. Life took a positive turn, when he
returned to Lyleton and met the love of his life, a school teacher named
Yvonne, a recent graduate of the University of Manitoba, and his brother's
teacher. Shortly after meeting Yvonne he found work as a laborer for Hudson's
Bay Mining in the Northern Manitoba town of Flin Flon. A large part of their
seven year courtship was through letters. They married in 1939 and settled in
Flin Flon. Burton was blessed with a photographic memory. His denial of a
formal education stimulated his already keen desire to learn. Through self
teaching, he advanced from laborer to the metallurgical labs where Ted Banta
of the Mineric Corporation in Salt Lake, discovered Burton and offered him a
job. In 1950 the family left Flin Flon and moved to Salt Lake. The Salt Lake
Mineric office was the sales headquarters for the chemicals they produced for
the various copper mining operations in North America. Burton went on to
become the Vice President in charge of this operation and employed several men
with PhDs, quite an accomplishment for a self educated man with a third grade
education. He retired from the Mineric Corporation in 1976 and enjoyed a
fruitful retirement. Burton was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and
friend. His wife and family were always his first concern. He had a keen wit
and wonderful warm sense of humor we will all miss. He enjoyed reading,
playing bridge, music, singing, traveling, crossword puzzles, sports, golf;
and he always had a good joke or story. He was a 32nd degree Master Mason
member of the Moriah Lodge #2 and a member of EI Kalah Shrine and enjoyed
participating with the EI Kalah Chanters. In lieu of flowers he requested that
donations be made to the non denominational Shriner's Hospital for Children,
Intermountain Unit, Fairfax and Virginia Ave., SLC 84103. The family would
like to extend a special thanks to his many friends who cared about him and
loved him; from the congregation and clergy at Wasatch Presbyterian Church, to
the staff and residents of Highland Cove. In addition we would like to thank
his dedicated health care professionals, particularly Tim Hunt PT of Highland
Cove, Terry Thatcher of Danville, Donnette of Legacy Health Care and our own
in family PT experts, Tina and Mil Bulanon. A memorial service will be held
June 18, at 11:30 a.m. at Wasatch Presbyterian Church 1526 South 1700 East
Salt Lake City, 84108.

Smith, Luana P.
Luana P. Smith 1918 ~ 2005 Luana Petersen Smith died May 26, 2005 of
conditions incident to age, hard work, and a full life. Born in Alpine,
October 5, 1918, oldest child of Conrad Petersen and Pearl Gerstner. With five
younger brothers, all worked hard on the farm her grandparents had
homesteaded. At age 16 her mother died. She helped her father raise the boys
and missed graduating from high school. Little Charles, age nine, died shortly
thereafter and a few years later, another brother, Louis, was killed in the
war. In June 1938, she met Robert B. Smith on a blind date. They married in
the Salt Lake Temple December 14, and lived in Draper four years before moving
to Alpine with their two little boys into her grandma's old log home. They
purchased farm land in Alpine and built a basement home where they welcomed
three more children and eventually built on "top," but had difficulty
borrowing money because as one banker put it, "We don't loan in Alpine, it's
at the end of the road." Luana served friends and loved ones. Her willingness
to speak her mind endeared her to many. Active in her church, she especially
enjoyed being Relief Society secretary and teaching the three year olds. She
loved working with her hands and was a skilled chocolate dipper, both
professionally and for fun. She has made more than 1600 baby quilts which have
been loved and worn out by babies all over the world. She loved to travel,
anywhere, but always ended up back home in Alpine. A highlight came last year
when she was award-ed her high school graduation certificate. No more will
Luana meander the new sidewalks of Alpine, talking to all who would take the
time. She was always welcoming towards the changes and people who became part
of her Alpine. Luana will be greatly missed. Four brothers preceded her in
death, Charles, Louis (Georgia), LeGrande, and Elwood (Hazel). She is survived
by her brother, Clarence (Faye) Cedar Fort; four children, Alan (Susanne)
Spanish Fork, Dennis (Veloy) Highland, Rayola (Frank Hardman) Highland, Ronald
(Joanne) Highland. One son, Delane, died in 1984. He is survived by his wife,
